HOUSE.
Consideration of H. R. 70—the Ramsey
elevator bill—was taken up in committee
of the whole on the 17th. The bill re
quires railroads to furnish equal facilities
to all elevators, including sidetracks,
ears, switch connections, terminal hand
ling and interchange. The amendment of
fered by the railroad committee, to which
the bill was referred, cut out the provi
sions for terminal handling and inter
change, and required elevatoiM to which
it should be applicable to cost at least
$3,000. Robbins of Onge oCered a substi
tute to the amendment, which left the
bill unchanged save for a proviso fixing
the cost of the elevator at not less than
$2,000. The Robbins substitute amendment
was adopted by a rising vote of SI to 2,
and the bill was then recommended for
passage as amended. The following bill
were read for the third time anC passed:

erning cities of from 5,000 to 25,000 popula
tion. Ayes, 87; nays. 0. To authorize

As soon as tho horse convened on tho
38th tho revenue measure was considered. ;
Mlkeaell of Dixon offered an amendment
to the personal property schedule, so as
to exempt live stock under six months
old from taxation. This led to an
amendment by Sears of Burt to strike
out the whole schedule and leave tho
list of this property to the state hoard
of equalization. Many members urged
that tho schedule be left intact, contend
ing that it would be better than letting
a few men make the schedule. The i
Sears amendment was adopted by a vote
of 36 to 24. Jones of Otoe offered an i
amendment to change debits to non-in
terest bearing "open accounts," to be de- <
ducted from the aggregate. Nelson then
amended Hogrefc’s amendment to make <
It all bona fide debts. Hogrefe accepted 1
(his amendment and withdrew his. The
Hogrefe amendment as changed by Nel
son was then defeated. Rouse of Hall at
11 o’clock moved that tho committee
arise and report the revenue bill for pas
sage. At this time Burgess of Lancas
ter sprung the anticipated amendment to
let the street railways, gas. water works «
and electric companies in under section
76. having their ^ross earnings tuxod as
franchise, as in the case of the tele
phone, telegraph, express and pipe line
companies. The proposition was defeat
ed, 66 to 23. The report of the commit
tee of the whole that the revenue bill
be recommended for passage as amended
was. on motion of McAllister, adopted
at 2:35 p. m. As the amendments must
lirst be printed, the bill probably cannot
come to a third reading this week. The
house passed H. R. 271, the Riggs bill,
reorganizing the South Omaha school
board. H. R. 210, by McClay of Lancas
ter. a Lincoln city tax bill to allow Lin

Douglas, to increase rate of Interest on

ings before the board can vote bonds.

ate amendments to the salaries appropri- |
ations bill were considered. S. F. 217 pro
posing the repeal of the old territorial law !
providing that the deputy treasurer shall
receive no salary “from the territory.”
Loomis offered an amendment to the sal
aries hill fixing the deputy’s salary at
$1,800, the amount previous legislatures
have been appropriating. The amendment
was carried. Amendments by Cropsey of
Jefferson were adopted raising the secre
tary of the state bunking board from
$1,500 to $2,000 a year and his chief clerk
from $1,000 to $1,200. Wilson of Pawnee,
chairman of the finance, ways and means
committee, offered an amendment appro
priating an annual salary of $840 for the
secretary of the fish commission, not now
provided for. The amendment carried.
The amendment offerer] some days ago
adding an assistant librarian or the su
preme court at $900 a year and a deputy
at $1,800, a deputy clerk at $1,800 and three
assistant clerks at $900 each were adopted.
Likewise the amendment to raise the sal
ary of the steward of the Lincoln hos
pital for insane from $1,200 to $1,500 a year
carried.
The house on the 20th. In committee
of the whole resumed consideration of
H. R. 374, the salaries appropriation bill.
It adopted an amendment reducing the
salary of the superintendent of the Girls’
Industrial home of Geneva from $1,500 to
$1,200. The committee on public lands and
buildings recommended a matron for this
institution at $000 a year. This commit
tee argued the necessity of this func
tionary, but the finance, ways and means
committee and others denied it and held
that the superintendent needed no such
assistant. It was claimed that the reduc
tion of the superintendent’s salary and
the effort to appoint a matron was spite
work against the superintendent. The
amendment was lost. During the pro
ceedings Nelson of Pierce remarked that
this was the most expensive Institution
in the state, the cost of maintenance a
year being $258 per capita. An amend
ment was adopted reducing the salaries
of the two family managers from $S0O
to $600. The salary of .the engineer at
the Industrial home at Milford was rais
ed from $800 to $900 on an amendment
by Gilbert of Douglas. The committee
had recommended a cut to $600. The farm
manager at the Grand Island Soldiers’
home was placed at $480 instead of $400.
FI. R. 70. the Ramsey elevator bill, was
taken up as a special order on its third
reading. The bill passed unanimously.
I'hc measure provides that railroads shall
accord equal terminal and transfer fa
cilities to all patios operating grain ele
vators, and that farmers’ elevators shall
cost at least $2,000. H. R. 344, the reve
nue bill, wasr read for the third time.
Douglas of Rock moved that the bill be
returned to the engrossing committee to
be properly engrossed, it being discov
ered that the personal property tax
schedule was not stricken from the bill
is ordered by the committee of the whole.
The hill was then re-read and placed on
Its final passage. It passed by a vote of
ro to 21. Three fusion hits voted in the
iffirmative and two republicans in the
negative. Fourteen members sent up ex
planations with their votes. A number
voted differently than they had talked.

Pure Food Bill Agreed To.
The pure food bills will be reported
to the house at the earliest opportu
nity for passage with a few amend
ments. The bills provided for a re
peal of the law providing for a sys
tem of fees and permits to sell cer
tain goods in the state. This provi
sion made the board almost self-sup
porting. Under the proposed bill,'
these sections were to be repealed,
and the law left as it was drafted in'
other particulars.
Before the committee acted on the
measure a delegation of wholesale
grocers and manufacturers of Lincoln
were given a hearing. They strongly
obpected to the measure on the
ground that it worked a hardship on
the home manufacturer. It would
permit the outside manufacturers
who make adulterated goods toman
ufacture them still and sell them in
the state, while the home manufac
turer would not have the privilege of
manufacturing even unless he sold
all his goods outside of Nebraska.
This argument was strongly urged
against the rigorous provision of the
measure.
Time Is Passing.
In a few days the legislators will
be wishing they had been more ac
tive early in the session. Friday,
March 13. was the forty-sixth day. In
the fourteen remaining days all the
appropriation bills must be consider
ed and other measures that are de
sired must be rushed through unless
a long time is spent here without
pay. It Is quite a task, especially as
the aprpopriations loom up with mon
umental height before the members.
With the new revenue law in pros
pect they will feel more free, how
ever, in passing these bills. . The
state normal school bill is at the head
of the general file ready for an early
resurrection. With it is the bill ap
propriating money for a new chapel
at the state normal at Peru. The
bill appropriating $100,000 for new
buildings at the state farm under the
Sears resolution, though favorably
acted upon in committee of the whole
in the house, mav not be read and
put on passage till the revenue bill
is disposed of.
The annual meeting of the stockhold
ers of the Union Typewriter company,

Jersey City. The annual report show

served $600,000 for dividends.

down in the side and pains in the back,
and the most agonizing headaches.
No one knows what I endured. Often
I was sick to the stomach, and every
little while I would be too sick to go
to work, for three or four days ; I work
in a large store, and I suppose stand
ing on my feet all day made me worse.
“At the suggestion of a friend of
my mother’s I began to take Eydin

pound, and it is simply wonderful.
1 felt better after the first two or three
doses ; it seemed as though a weight
was taken off my shoulders; I con

fully say I am entirely cured. Young
girls who are always paying doctor’s
bills without getting any help as I did,
ought to take your medicine. It
costs so much less, and it is sure to
cure them. — Yours truly, Ahei.aidb

Strange Facts of Wild Animals.
The birth of a litter of lions at Ha
slemere park, a private menagerie in
England, leads one of the English pa
pers to note a fact that has for long
puzzled biologists, and that is notor
ious among those who interest them
selves in the study of wild beasts in
captivity, this being that nearly all
the lion, tiger and leopard cubs born
in that country have a cleft palate,
which prevents them from being .
properly suckled, and usually leads t
their premature death. But, beyoiflr'
this, a more astonishing fact still—
ind one that also greatly puzzles bi
ologists—is that which determines
that of all the wild animals born in
England those horn in Bristol are re
garded as the finest and as the most
likely to live. So well known is this
to professional showmen and menag
orie keepers that "Bristol born” is a
recognized brand in the wild animal
trade.
Woman Abolitionist’s Exploit. A
Miss Sarah E. Sanborn, who died at
the age of 80 last week in Hampton
Falls, N. H., was once the heroine of
an exciting abolitionist adventure.
Her brother, Franklin B. Sanborn, of
Concord, with whom she was then liv
ing, was outspoken in his utterances
and work in suport of the abolitionist
cause. An attempt was made to kid
nap him. The hack in which he was
to be carried away was left standing
at the door. Miss Sanborn seized the
whip and lashed the horses till they
ran away; then she helped her broth,
er to escape. For this exploit citizens
af Concord afterward presented her
with a pair of pistols.
When it comes to helping the poor,
ictions speak louder than words.
FOOLED THE HOSPITAL.

*Vas Pronounced Incurable, but Got
Well on Pure Food.
Sometimes in a ease of disease re
sulting from the use of improper food
the symptoms are so complex that
medical science cannot find the seat of
trouble, and even the most careful
hospital treatment fails to benefit. A
gentleman of Lee, Mass., says.: “On
April 1st, 1900, 1 was sent home by/
one of our Massachusetts hospital^
saying nothing more could be done for
me. I have been a great sufferer from
nervous diseases and rheumatism and ;
nervous prostration and had previous
ly been treated at Sharon Springs and
by a number of doctors without get
ting much assistance.
“One day I was feeling worse than
usual when I read an article about
your Grape-Nuts that impressed me
lo that 1 sent out for a package. I
tommenced using it at breakt'oJillthe
next day.
“For fifteen months I never missed
one day. If you ever saw any one
grow strong and improve it was I. I
gained from 125 pounds to my old
weight of 105. I will always be a
:npple from rheumatism, but other
wise I am so much improved that I
now feel as well as any man in the
country.” Name furnished by Postum
